Today, we look back at last year's winner of the Music Cities Awards and are excited to highlight Music Box Village, the flagship project of New Orleans Airlift. This artist-driven non-profit organisation is dedicated to forging connections through collaborative artworks.
Music Box Village is an enchanting collection of interactive Musical Architecture—a whimsical village comprising artist-built structures known as "houses." These unique creations are crafted from salvaged materials, instruments, and musical equipment, allowing each house to be played like an instrument.
